the specimens in Air. Murphy's collection two females and the 
male were taken from Pclccaiioidcs urinatrix (South Georgia 
Island; R. C. 'M., 1877) and one female from Oceaiiodroiiia

It is more than high time to stop referring all the species 
of Eiiryiiictopiis to the single species taiinis. From my own 
specimens and from letters from my correspondents, especially 
the Rev. James Waterston of the Shetland Islands (Scotland) 
I am sure that there are three or four obviously distinct 
species in this group of characteristic albatross and Procellari- 
form parasites. In the present collection one of these other 
species is present, and I describe it herewith. In this connec- 
tion I wish to note that the species of Uitryiiictopus recorded 
l)v me in Xew Alallophaga I, pp. 135-137, 1896, as taken from 
s])eciniens of the short-tailed albatross, Diomedea albatnis. 
and the Pacific fulmar. Pulinarus glacialis ( all bird specimens 
from the Bay of ]\lonterey. California) and ascribed with 
some doulit to lutr\'incfopus faunis Xitzsch (I pointed nut 
differences in size and other details at that time ) are un- 
doubtedly not faunis. but are of an undescribed species which 
1 now projjose to call pacificits. In Xew Alallophaga 1, 1 
figured (PI. XI. figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6) an adult female, a very 
voung female, an immature but fuUv grown male, and the 
iiead of an adult male. These figures, together with my 
measurements shnwing the characteristic smaller size of the 
new species, and my reference to the signature, together with 
the host references and the remark which I may at present add, 
that the terminal segments of both male and female differ 
conspicuouslv (as shown in my figures) from the conditirms 
in faunis. mav sufficientlv diagnose the new s])ecies. I:, 
pacificns. for the moment. 1 shall take early opportunity to 
publish a full description.
